I tired re-downloading and even downloading older versions, all with the same error message. When I went to the InstallAnywhere site, who has free installers for downloading, none of the packages they had for downloading worked on MAC classic platforms. I love Apple, as soon as a now OS comes out they delete any old version software, which then encourages other software developers to abandon making updates for the older OSs.

Can anyone think of anyother ideas?

I'm sorry to hear that. I've never had a problem with a LimeWire download not installing. I don't have "InstallAnywhere" as a program on my computer...

Anyway, hopefully someone will have another idea.

Good luck.

Try removing some extensions. When I tried to install versions of limewire on my iMac, the installation would start but never finish. I then removed some extensions that were no longer in use and was able to get 2.8.6 to install.

If you have an extension conflict catcher you might want to try that. Otherwise, you might get lucky with a trial and error approach.

LimeWire works for me. I'm using an iBook, 300 MHz with Mac OS 9.2.2. The installer works for me with no problems. I am using LimeWire 2.8.6.
